Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is all for a multichain future as the US considers a national digital asset reserve.

Garlinghouse is for inclusivity, and says such a reserve should include multiple assets, including XRP, Bitcoin and Ethereum.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse wrote, “We have a real shot here and now to achieve all we want IF we work together instead of tearing each other down.” He also showed he’s all for multichain by saying he holds XRP, BTC and ETH.

Ripple has been working with regulators to get a clear framework for XRP to be included in a digital asset reserve. Garlinghouse said the reserve should benefit the entire crypto ecosystem not just one coin.

Criticism from Bitcoin Maximalists

While Ripple is gaining traction with its proposal, there is still skepticism. Bitcoin maximalists say Bitcoin, because of its decentralized and scarce nature, is the only one that can be in a national reserve.

Pierre Rochard, VP of Riot Platforms, criticized Ripple’s lobbying efforts, saying the company is pushing the government towards a reserve model that includes XRP. Ryan Selkis, founder of Messari, said Bitcoin is superior to other digital assets because of its unique features.

Despite the criticism, Garlinghouse is still pushing for industry collaboration, saying a multichain approach is key to long term success of digital assets.

Arizona Pushes for Bitcoin Reserve

While national debate rages on, Arizona is moving forward with its own Bitcoin focused reserve. A state Senate committee just passed the “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” bill which will now go to the floor.

The initiative, led by state senators Wendy Rogers and Jeff Weninger, wants to make Bitcoin a state reserve asset, citing its scarcity and decentralization as major advantages. Dennis Porter, a well known crypto advocate, called this a historic move as Arizona is the first state to propose such legislation.

XRP Price Trends Amid Market Volatility

As all this plays out, XRP is moving. At the time of writing XRP is at $3.03 up 2% from its intraday low of $2.71. Despite the volatility the 24 hour trading volume is up 266% to $15.53 billion and the market cap is $174.57 billion.

Crypto analyst Dark Defender is predicting a short term dip to $2.81 then a bounce to $3.67. He says this is due to corrective market action, same as the rest of the crypto space.

As adoption and ecosystem growth continues XRP is at the center of the digital reserve conversation. Investors and governments will be watching what’s next from Ripple.
